Hi Jim,

I've got Centroid controller and it's nice piece of kit thou not quite router friendly just yet because of how it's mostly geared towards Mills/Lathe's regards tool changing and few other bits. However centroid are working on router specific items which will hopefully be in the next software update.

Can I ask what you plan to cut with C-beam plate maker.? . . . . It's not exactly the best of designs and lacks in lots of areas which will quickly show over time or if plan to do any proper cutting.

If you'd come on here and asked about the design you would have got numerous folks, me included, all telling you same thing.? DONT BUY IT.!
The design is weak and flawed in key areas.
Don't be fooled when you see videos etc cutting aluminium because while it may manage to survive a video or two scratching it's way thru aluminium it certainly won't last very long in real world. Those plastic rollers will be dead in short order of time from chips and will most certainly start jamming up causeing stalls etc if not constantly cleaning chips away from profile and rollers.

In all honesty the Centroid would be wasted on machine like this. Cheap BOB and Mach3 or Linux CNC are more than good enough for this machine.

My advise would be if can return the parts do so and look to build better machine. Might cost little more but you will have good machine that can do all you want and probably more.
With this design your just buying weak ticking time bomb that you will quickly find lacking.!

Sorry to be Doom & Gloom but we see this all too often.!
